As you do not reveal much about yourself it is difficult to know, but I'm guessing that English isn't your first language, which may explain why we are having difficulty in understanding what you want.

Jojoba and Almond Oil are not good choices as carrier/solvent. They go off fairly quickly (go rancid) and are not good solvents for Perfumery materials. You will not be able to dissolve Vanillin, for example. Must you use a natural solvent?

How about castor oil or coconut oil? I was thinking of 10ml carrier and 20ml essential/perfume oils to make 30ml? which other non natural solvents are there to dissolve in, apart from alcohol? My business sells strictly alcohol free scents.
